For the Huskies, four U SPORTS medalists highlighted the weekend in Ontario in Judah Arthurs, Caitlin Clatney, Myah Phillips, and Matthew Yong. 

On the men's side Judah Arthurs became the only Huskie to advance to the gold medal matches thanks to a perfect 4-0 victory in the 82kg weight class placements matches. His silver medal marks the second consecutive second-place finish at nationals for the third-year Education student. Rookie Matthew Yong became the second USask men's medalist, earning bronze in the men's 90kg thanks to a win by fall over Calgary's Joseph Demaio in the bronze medal match.

For the Huskie women, Caitlin Clatney and Myah Phillips each reached the U SPORTS podium with third-place finishes in the 59 and 83kg weight classes with both earning their second career medal at nationals. Clatney defeated Concordia's Sophia Bechard in the medal round by fall to claim third while Phillips claimed her medal with a victory by fall of her own, defeating Guelph's Logan Stimson. 

Following the final matches, Caitlin Clatney and Drake Buechler were each recognized as the U SPORTS Community Service Award Winners, marking the third consecutive season in which Saskatchewan has swept the award.
